Last night Think Unbroken won $10000 in a pitch off with Grant Cardone I went up against some of the best business owners in the world and came out on top! I am so appreciative to every one of you that has supported my mission to end generational trauma by giving survivors the tools to create the change we want to be and to become the hero of our own story despite our past.

The part that I get stuck on is that these limiting beliefs that we carry from our childhood often have nothing to do with trauma or traumatic experiences. Many of these beliefs and mindsets come from our society in general.

At the end of the day, when this is all over, every choice and every decision you do or do not make creates a new ripple and a new path. The secret that no one told you is that YOU GET TO CHOOSE THE PATH. This is your life and no one else’s.

Do you know why more people will spend money on dining out instead of investing in themselves? The answer is simple: Instant gratification. The healing trauma and cptsd journey is one of patience, choice, follow-through, and fortitude. The hard truth is that this game we are playing right now called life doesn't end until we die and to live anything less than the life we want is stealing from ourselves.

Did you know that statistically, there is a 1 in 5 chance that someone has experienced trauma? Some research like The ACE survey estimates that 84% of children experience an adverse event in their youth.

Recently in one of my online posts, I had someone ask me about the power of the personal growth journey and what it means to step into that. And the question was about, I don't know that personal growth, this thing, the Tony Robbins, the Mel Robins, the Michael Anthony's of the world. I don't know if that makes sense for me. And I was thinking about that and they asked me why it worked and in my experiences is what I want to share here with you, because I think it would be palatable for you to take this understanding of where I was before deciding to step into personal development and personal growth and where I am after.

In this episode of the trauma healing podcast I sit down with fellow coach, mentor, and survivor Emily Grant.

Man, my journey for self-love was a Long one. Because you have no reason to believe you should be loved when no one's give you a reason to believe you should be loved as a concept of like, I should, I should have love.
